Yes, I realise that. I’m not “getting self-righteous over” anything, I’m making a dig at the amounts of fluid on display in the average doujin. Have you read one? It’s like xenomorphs set up a hive between the mouths of two Japanese girls. That’s the imagery Doctor_Who’s comment brought to mind, and that’s what I was reacting to. As a gag.

If they’ve been in a slip shine, they’re an adult, so at the very least Amber and Walky are. Which is irrelevant because DT already said they were making a gag but I can’t help myself but to point it out.

There are kids born in September to December who may start college at 17 and turn 18 as the year goes by, but I’m told in the states it’s more common to wait a year before starting school in that case, so the kids with September-December would be older than their peers, which would make those kids 18 turning 19 now (so, like Dina).

Around here, it used to be more common for kids with September or October birthdays to graduate high school at 17 and thus turn 18 in college if they go right afterward (speaking as such a person myself). However, over the last few years, laws have changed so that if you want your kid to start kindergarten when they’re 4 going on 5, you have to submit a request or something. This has made it less common for kids to be in that situation.

Becky’s successfully kept secrets. Her own secret love for Joyce was one of them (or a two-in-one, if you also include her orientation as part of that). She could keep Walky’s and Amber’s secret if she feels so inclined; the question is whether she would indeed feel inclined in the first place. Walky is her friend, and maybe Becky might agree with Sal’s view that this is A Bad Idea.

The next panel would have been just Amber, Walky, and a Becky-shaped dust cloud. Tomorrow we cut to Joyce across campus. Suddenly a very excited Becky shows up, then Joyce’s phone dings with the text message Becky sent her en route: “OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG”.

She can keep a secret if she needs to. She kept her orientation and feelings for Joyce a secret for a long time. Also the fact that she got kicked out of school, at least until she was kind of forced to tell Joyce.

That alt text is the cutest fucking thing. You live your best dino life, baby Willis. What are his brother’s thoughts on dinosaurs?

Reminds me of how occasionally, we’ll get a kid at my store who wants to be called something off the wall, usually a character name from something. They are my favorite. The one I recall best was a toddler who wanted to be called Green Monster Turtle–his name for the Ninja Turtles

We know they both ABSOLUTELY LOVE Studio Series Grimlock, and that they both have Nondescript Velociraptor shirts after Chase asked for one and Willis realized he had the art. So I’d expect Zack agrees with dinosaurs as a concept. As well he should.

(I also remember a tweet months back before they were talking about signing ‘dinosaur’ at a non-transforming toy expecting it to do so, Willis explaining it didn’t turn into a dinosaur, and then responding with the sign for ‘truck’. The moral of this story is the babies Willis have Expectations for their toys.)

I was originally gonna guess no, but now I’m glad I double-checked! Walky told her about it when he and Jason got drunk at Galasso’s and Becky’s response was pretty much “aw dude that sucks, she doesn’t deserve you”.

So, there’s:
– Dorothy’s feelings,
– Walky’s feelings that he shouldn’t be dating within 48 hours of a breakup,
– Probable drama from Joyce,
– Possible drama from Billie, who would probably come around quickly a la Sal but would still be like ‘damn.’
– Potential drama from Danny, who is not in immediate contact with either currently (Amber’s tried to rebuff him from being friends) but is no more than two degrees of separation.
– I don’t know if either of them is aware the other is connected to Mike, but once they realize that they should be Concerned. Like, seriously so.

Billie was supporting Joyce in trying to poach Jacob.
I seriously doubt she’d have an issue with Walky getting with Amber.
If she does, she has some very confused morals to look down on two single people dating while encouraging breaking up a happy couple.

Walky should be heartbroken over losing a perfect cinnamon roll who was much too good for him, rather than (apparently) happily moving on. Anything less is an insult to Dorothy. (Joyce’s take, obviously)

Joyce has been covered. If you mean Billie, she will probably be fine after surprise (she was coaching Walky about how Dorothy Wasn’t That Great Anyway,) but there will definitely be surprise and there might be more questions.

Also I don’t know if Billie knows Jacob well enough to recognize he’s dating Raidah (they were at the party, but not for long and it was a very early date.) She’s not actively in on the plan, she just did the buttons seeing Jacob and Joyce’s reaction. Raidah wasn’t there then.

That is a good option, Becky. I like that in many artistic intepretations that dinosaur has feathers and looks like a giant murderous bird. Joyce would be scared of looking at something like that, or the terror bird that ate small horses.

I like how Therizinosaurus looks a lot like a theropod sloth. Like, what the hell Therizinosaurus. Your evolutionary path must have been bizarre. You’re the only clade of the entire dang suborder that we actually think was primarily herbivorous.

Aw! Becky knows just what to say to make Dina happy and I find that cute in lots of ways!

I suspect that Becky is going to ask Dina whether or not Walky and Amber have been up for air yet. Based on that and the length of time they’ve been kissing, they might need to consider an emergency intervention to remind them to eat.
